A spin performed by an ice skater is the result of more than just torque. Inertia, the skater's bodily resistance to a change in state also comes into effect by decreasing the speed of the skater. In situations such as making a turn while ice skating where the motion is rotational, this factor is called the "moment of inertia."Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Motion Resistance
A spin performed by an ice skater is the result of more than just torque. Inertia, the skater's bodily resistance to a change in state also comes into effect by decreasing the speed of the skater. In situations such as making a turn while ice skating where the motion is rotational, this factor is called the "moment of inertia."
